No one on TMC knows the answer to that question. We don't know...What is the latest Burbank Towne Center SC to go online? I'm going to need this 9/23
But he *needs* it on September 23rd!No one on TMC knows the answer to that question. We don't know...
My speculation: Someone probably assumed they could bundle all the supply cables together in that raceway. It's a nice compact solution. Their work got checked and it was determined that they needed each phase (3P+N+G?) to be isolated in separate conduits.Thanks for the update!
Interesting though. It looks like they had some serious fabricated components installed that they had to entirely abandon/remove, to be replaced with these more standard metal conduits. That was a full month ago that the original fittings were installed. I wonder why this happened? Code requirement?
The status of the Constitution is...off topic for this thread.The question is not unreasonable, so let's give him a break please.
Instead, perhaps someone here can provide an update on the current constitution status?
Ooops! Darn you autocorrect!The status of the Constitution is...off topic for this thread.
Agreed. Your response to the question was reasonable. It was the following post from someone else that I found a bit snarky. Also, the question is not completely unreasonable, as sometimes people have heard some news that could prove informative. In fact, I recall several times over the years where a construction crew gave a very specific and accurate go-live date (NEVER once Tesla though). In this case, we have an update that the conduits are not yet even completed, given an apparent set-back, let alone wiring to the transformer. In this case, my opinion is that 9/23 is highly unlikely. Though, we have all been extremely surprised in the past!So in my opinion it is worth pointing out that the answer to the question "Will this Supercharger be operational on a specific date?" Is "We don't know" so that the person asking the question will realize that they need to plan their upcoming trip on the assumption that the Supercharger in question will not be available to them.
and another change in conduit layout:

good news is that there are cables inside those conduits:
If they want to, they could probably build a small casing and stucco and paint it to make it blend in. It would become a maintenance issue every decade or so as dirt, rot, and bugs settle into the encasement; cracks would expose openings for those things to enter. Perhaps just an L shape open at the bottom would do, or even just with screens, but both those ideas would attract rodents and wasps.Maybe they'll figure out a way to cover the super duper conduits up with something more visually pleasing?
I have conduit running along the side of my home exactly like this: horizontally and right across the middle of a large wall. In my case, it is piping for solar water heating. We encased it within metal sheeting and painted it to match the stucco. It now looks like molding that is intended to be there. In fact, due to some major screw ups by a contractor, the pipes are now abandoned , but the "molding" looks really good and is considered a feature as far as we are concerned.If they want to, they could probably build a small casing and stucco and paint it to make it blend in.

It's amazing how hard it is to make conduit look visually pleasing as anything but conduit. We'll get used to seeing it like we used to be used to seeing gas stations and people driving horses.
